US-Iran talks stuck, sources tell 'Post,' as US sends additional forces to the region
Iranian Supreme National Security Council Secretary Mohsen Rezaei wrote on Tuesday on X that "the United States' response regarding Iran's rights and demands was not convincing."
Recent attempts to negotiate a breakthrough in talks between the United States and Iran have failed, according to multiple regional sources speaking to The Jerusalem Post. Qatar, Russia, and China have been among the mediators involved in these discussions, which aimed to secure significant progress and avert potential American military action.
However, Iranian Supreme National Security Council Secretary Mohsen Rezaei criticized the US response to Iran's seven demands on X/Twitter, stating that it was not convincing. Rezaei emphasized that Washington must fully address Iran's conditions before the Strait of Hormuz could be reopened.
Simultaneously, the US military is increasing its presence in the region. US cargo aircraft have been observed departing from Fort Bliss in Texas and arriving at bases in Israel, according to flight-tracking data. These aircraft, including missile interceptors and air-defense systems, are part of the ongoing reinforcement of US forces.
Furthermore, the USS Theodore Roosevelt and its strike group were tracked near the Strait of Malacca, Asia, indicating that it is expected to reach the US Central Command (CENTCOM) area of responsibility by the following week. This deployment of a third US aircraft carrier in the Middle East follows previous operations and suggests an unprecedented level of military presence in the region.
